SKELETAL MUSCLE CHARACTERISTICS

  1. Most attach to bones by tendon

  2. Cells are multinucleate

  3. Striated have visible binding

  4. Cells are surrounded by connective tissue

FUNCTION

  1. Produce movement

  2. Mantain posture

  3. Stabilize joints

  4. Generate heat

SITES OF ATTACHMENT

  1. Bones

  2. Cartilage

  3. Connective tissue

  4. covering

The skeletal muscles is the ones you think of when you say "muscle", the ones that show how strong you are, and let you bout a soccer ball into the goal. This are your skeletal muscles, some times called straited muscle because the light and dark parts of the muscle fibers made them straited.

FIBERS BLEND INTO

A connective tissue attachment

  1. Tendon- cord like structure

  2. Aponeurosus- Sheet like structure

PROPERTIES OF MUSCLES

  1. IRRITABILITY: Ability to recieve and respond to a stimulus

  2. CONTRACTBILITY: Ability to shorten

  3. EXTENSIBILITY: Ability to lengthen

  4. ELASTICITY: Ability to return to normel shape

SOME CRADIAC MUSCLES ARE:

  1. Flexor

  2. Extensor

  3. Abductor

  4. Levator

  5. Depressor

  6. Supinator

  7. Pronator
